GOP presidential candidates face tempest by Tea Party

So here’s how the game is played now; if you’re a Republican you have to decide how much ass-kissing is needed to please the corporate-supported Tea Party.

Those wealthy “patriots” who don’t believe in taxing big business or paying their fair share of personal taxes, are using the debt ceiling fiasco as the new proxy of allegiance (or lack of it) for GOP presidential candidates.

How far will a Republican candidate go before they push back against the movement’s all-or-nothing approach to governing, especially during primary season, remains to be seen.
